SHAMONG, N.J. — A New Jersey woman who fed her brother-in-law a drink laced with antifreeze and watched him die was sentenced Friday to 20 years.

Maryann Neabor, a former emergency medical technician, was convicted in July of aggravated manslaughter. She could have received a sentence as short as 10 years or as long as 30, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported.

Neabor confessed to state police she made a deadly smoothie for Jonathan Neabor, blending fruit with antifreeze. But she said at the time she was not trying to kill him, only to make him sick.
